Abstract


The technology of wireless wearable antenna sensors is driving the impressive expansion of wireless body area networks (WBAN) health and wellness monitoring applications. This is because body sensors are regarded as extremely sophisticated data collecting and information systems. Wearable, networked sensors that can be utilized on, inside, or outside of the body are a part of the human anatomy. The most recent international standard for WBAN is IEEE 802.15.6, which attempts to establish a standard for very dependable, short-range, low-power communication inside the human body.  In light of this, a study was conducted to investigate and deploy novel, optimal wearable antenna sensors operating at 2.4 GHz. Additionally, their performance including path loss, channel modeling, power transmitted, power received, and other factors was examined in order to determine how well these sensors would work for IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks applications. This work provides a thorough theoretical and practical investigation of the behavior of the suggested antenna sensor in relation to the human body and free space. The theoretical and experimental results correspond quite well, despite the intricacy of the human body's physiological behavior.
